Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace

Icmeler | Turkey

⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Wrapped in pine forest on a peninsula between Marmaris and Icmeler, Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace is a classic Turkish all‑inclusive that really leans into its setting. Think timber lodges stepping down to the sea, a private beach and jetty, waterslides and kids’ clubs for younger guests, and a 24‑hour All Inclusive Plus concept that keeps drinks and snacks flowing long after sunset. It’s a big resort with a traditional feel, but smart facilities and a sustainability certification give it modern credentials too.

A long ribbon of jetty and shoreline, tall pines and mountain views; Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace has the sort of setting families love. Sunbathe on platforms over the water, drift between pools and slides, then wander up through the trees for sunset drinks at one of the many bars. Inside, the vibe is warm and traditional – all wood, stone and greenery – with a big choice of rooms and bungalows spread through the gardens.

For couples and families keen to enjoy Turkey’s Turquoise Coast without being right in the party heart of Marmaris, Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace is a sweet spot: a forest-fringed, private‑beach resort with proper waterslides, kids’ clubs and 24‑hour All Inclusive Plus. It’s around 2 hours 30 minutes’ transfer from Dalaman Airport. See more Turkey holidays.

Location | Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace

Location

Grand Yazici Club Marmaris Palace is tucked into a swathe of pine forest on the seafront road that links Marmaris and Icmeler. You’re right on the bay with views across to the hills, yet only a short dolmuş or taxi ride from resort life.

Stroll along the waterfront to low-key bars and cafés, head into Icmeler for markets and restaurants, or continue a little further to Marmaris for its marina, bazaar and nightlife. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is more relaxed and self-contained, with everything you need on-site – ideal if you’re travelling with children.

Restaurants and Bars

For an all‑inclusive resort, the food and drink line-up is impressively varied. The main buffet restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with Turkish and international favourites, children’s options and live cooking stations during the busier months.

You then have four atmospheric à la carte venues (seasonal and reservation‑only):
Main Restaurant – buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner with kids’ buffet corner
Turkish À La Carte – grills, meze and regional dishes
Italian À La Carte – pizzas, pastas and snacks in a relaxed setting
Asian À La Carte – popular classics with a pan‑Asian twist
Seafood À La Carte – on the beach, perfect for sunset suppers

Across the grounds you’ll find a generous spread of drinking spots: lobby and pool bars, a sports bar, coffee corner in the gardens, family‑friendly beach bars and an adults‑only (+18) Kiyi Beach Bar for child‑free sundowners. Snacks and light bites are offered at various outlets throughout the day, and Palace Beach & Club operates as a paid beach club for a different vibe.

Under the All Inclusive Plus programme, guests staying 7 nights or more receive one complimentary à la carte dinner (Turkish, Asian or Italian) per stay, subject to availability and pre‑booking. Smart‑casual dress codes typically apply in the evenings. Exact opening hours and inclusions can change by season, so check the latest information in resort.
